BigBox With Consoles Split Into Different Regions

This is all great info but splitting some roms into region categories is difficult. I am running into serious issues with Sega Master System, some roms are "Alex Kidd - High-Tech World (USA, Europe, Brazil)" or "Alex Kidd in Miracle World (USA, Europe)", so like creating a USA and EUROPE separately, etc. is causing me headaches, any suggestions ?

Usually if a rom only has a (USA, europe) version I just add it to the USA games. In the case where I already have a seperate (USA) version and then also have a (usa, europe) version I would add the (usa, europe) version to the European games. Not perfect without duplicating but it's what I did.?‍♂️

Personally I would add a (USA, Europe) ROM to both the USA platform and the Europe platform, and then scrape one with USA art and the other with Europe art.

I know this is an old post, but I just got my first LB/BB setup installed on a mini-pc and found this post on a way to better organize my library based on regions.

I tried searching around but could not find the answer.  What theme are you using or is the setup based on?  I really like a visual that give more information about the systems and games, and also has the sample videos.  Another question, what Big Box startup video is that?

Not sure if this will get seen, since this is an old post, but hopefully someone might have some suggestions for themes that best incorporate region filtering.  Thanks!
